Heavy Duty Ratchet Load Binder RATCHET BINDER – A mechanical lever device designed to tighten chain for securing a load. Due to having a gear, pawl, handle, and end fittings that screw in or out, it does not store as much energy in the handle as a lever binder does. Stronger ratchet load binder lets you bind higher grades of chain Made from alloy steel This binder lets you tighten chains all the way up to Grade 100 No different requirements for locking of handle compared to lever type load binders Part No. Min – Max Chain Size (Inch) Working Load Limit (lbs) Proof Load (lbs) Ultimate Load (lbs) Unit Weight (lbs) Standard Qty/Box 12042 5/16″ – 3/8″ 8,800 17,600 35,200 11.5 2 12043 3/8″ – 1/2″ 15,000 30,000 60,000 13.0 2 12044 1/2″ – 5/8″ 16,000 32,000 64,000 15.0 2 WARNING !! Never exceed the Working Load Limit Do not operate the binder while you or anyone else is on the load. You may slip or fall risking serious injury or death When applying the binder, always position the load binder so the handle is tightened in a downward manner. Failure to do so may result in a sudden snapping back of the lever which may result in serious injury or death Load binders are designed to be tightened to the approximate Working Load Limit by a substantial hand effort. Do not use a handle extension. Extensions can severely damage the binder system and may result in serious injury or death The operator should at all times use the load binder from a firm standing position that will ensure protection for himself as well as those in the immediate vicinity Load binders are a form of machinery and require periodic inspection and maintenance. Inspect for wear, deformation, cracks, nicks, or gouges before using. Replace if damaged Show More Show Less
